Faggs Forestry & Arboriculture serves homeowners and businesses across Maidstone, Bearsted, and Loose with expert tree surgery and arboricultural care. With 33 five-star Google reviews, NPTC-qualified arborists, and comprehensive public liability insurance, we bring genuine professionalism to the Garden of England's county town.
Maidstone sits at the heart of Kent — the Garden of England — and the landscape here reflects that reputation perfectly. The River Medway runs through the town, flanked by willows, alders, and poplars that give Maidstone's riverside a distinctive, lush character. Beyond the river, the town's residential areas feature a rich variety of mature garden trees, while the surrounding countryside — including the orchards, hop gardens, and ancient hedgerows that Kent is famous for — represents some of the most productive and historically significant farmed landscape in England.
Tree management in and around Maidstone requires an understanding of both urban and agricultural environments. In the town's residential areas, we carry out the full range of tree surgery services — crown reductions, hedge cutting, stump grinding, emergency response — with the precision and care that urban environments demand. In the more rural areas around the town, we work on hedgerow management, tree felling on agricultural land, and sometimes larger-scale projects for estates and landowners.
Bearsted is a village that many people consider one of Kent's finest — its ancient green, Norman church, and traditional buildings make it a genuinely special place to live. The trees here are well-established and often historically significant, requiring careful, sympathetic management. We work regularly in Bearsted for homeowners who take real pride in their properties and want their trees looked after to the highest standard.
Loose, just south of Maidstone town, is another attractive village with a distinctive valley landscape. The Loose Stream runs through the village, creating a microclimate that encourages particularly lush growth in the trees along its banks. Willows, alder, and crack willow are common here and benefit from regular professional management.
Safe, controlled felling and sectional dismantling of trees of all sizes in Maidstone. We use professional rigging equipment to remove trees safely in any space.
Carefully reduce the size of your tree's canopy while preserving its natural shape. We follow British Standard BS3998 guidelines on every job.
Selectively remove branches from within the canopy to improve light and airflow without reducing the overall size or shape of the tree.
Remove lower branches to increase clearance beneath the canopy, improve light to your garden, and provide clearance from buildings and pathways.
Precision trimming and shaping of all hedge types. From small front garden hedges to large boundary leylandii, we deliver clean, even results every time.
Complete stump removal to below ground level using our professional Bandit grinding machinery. We clear all material and leave your garden ready for new use.
We advise on the right species for your garden and soil type, and handle all planting work. For every tree we remove, we plant a new one locally.
Rapid response to storm damage, fallen trees, and dangerous situations. Available for urgent callouts throughout Surrey, Kent, South London and West Sussex.
Regular pollarding keeps fast-growing trees manageable, prevents encroachment on buildings or cables, and can significantly extend a tree's lifespan.
We cover all of Maidstone including the town centre, the riverside areas, Barming, Allington, and the surrounding villages. In Bearsted, we work on the village's traditional properties and in the gardens surrounding the famous village green. Loose, with its distinctive valley landscape and the Loose Stream running through the village, is a particular favourite — the trees here are beautiful and we enjoy working in this special environment.
We cover Mid and West Kent. See our pages for tree surgery in Sevenoaks, tree surgery in Tonbridge, and tree surgery in Crawley.
